Know What An Epidural Steroid Injection Is?

Epidural steroid injection is being used for over 40 years as a treatment for neck, lower back and radiating leg pain with minimal risk factors. It is a combination of corticosteroid with a local anesthetic pain relief medicine that soothes irritated and inflamed spinal nerves.

Epidural steroid injection (ESI) is a non-surgical procedure in which anti-inflammatory medicines (steroid) and numbing medicine (anesthetic) is injected into the epidural space which surrounds the spinal cord and inflamed nerve roots. Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medicines that reduce swelling and inflammation while local anesthetic provides instant pain relief.
